ACTIVITIES ANO Not as popular as they once were, dances are still a part of the traditional special events as- sociated with the school.

The antici- pation builds up as music lovers wait hours on end for the best tickets. The students with extra cash can usually buy from an anonymous parking lot scalper just before the show. The day of the concert the crowds jam the parking lot and walkways, all moving with a single objective: find THAT seat! Once the warm up band leaves the stage, the excitment mounts during the half hour preparations on stage and in the audience that herald the arrival of The Rock Super Stars. With special effects accenting the performance, the mood becomes one of sensory enjoyment. Pink Floyd, the ultimate in special effects, uses such props as a floating pig and parachute sheep.

MOTION aVNID EMOTION Activity is a specified form of action, especially in the area of recreation. To the interested members, activities mean a sense of involvement and to- getherness.

Other clubs mean responsibility; the responsibility of organizing projects for others.

Whether it be the Band or Thearts, everyone works together to achieve a much strived for goal: a perfect show. Class spirit was shown by all at the float sessions, although they some- times consist of too much socializing, smoking and drinking, and too little flower making. In spite of the problems, occasional long hours and the conflict with school work, the fun and intricate social life associated with activities is what most students remember. Students in printing assist school activities by running off programs, posters, and tickets. Tim Recko helps Janet Vogini meet her Theart’s initiation requirements. Activities 13
